The event, which is directed at patent search professionals from business, academia and IP firms, showcases the EPO's patent search strategies and techniques while offering an unrivaled look behind the scenes at the Office. The 2019 edition will include a series of workshops with EPO examiners providing useful information on topics such as search strategies, the impact of AI and blockchain on search, Asian prior art, free search tools such as Espacenet and Patstat or the complexity of searching in automotive, ICT and chemistry fields. One of the highlights of the programme is the chance for participants to spend half a day with individual examiners "at-the-desk" and discuss with them about how they search in specific technical areas. The programme is rounded off by plenary lectures and a round table on the hopes and fears of the searcher and the future of search in an AI and Blockchain landscape.</p>

<div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The European Commission has published a ‘Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List’ to highlight websites and marketplaces that undermine the intellectual property rights of EU companies and creators. The list aims to encourage the operators of these marketplaces, local enforcement authorities and governments to take action to crack down on IP abuse. The report covers both physical and digital goods and cites a number of online marketplaces that can apparently be used to access copyright-protected content, including cyberlocker sites. “Intellectual property infringements are a scourge on the European economy, decreasing investment and government revenues, and killing jobs in our creative and innovative industries. The link between counterfeiting and organised crime poses a major threat to our society. This Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List is part of our broader effort to ensure that European companies can operate on a level playing field when trading outside the EU’s borders, and that EU consumers are safe.” said European Commissioner for trade, Cecilia Malmström. In the European Union, counterfeit and pirated products amount to an estimated 5% of all imports or as much as €85 billion a year.</p>

<span rel="schema:author" class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://iprhelpdesk.eu/users/ulrike-waltsgott" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Uli Waltsgott</span></span>

<div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="text-align-justify">After the successful completion of the previous funding period, a new consortium of four partners now takes up its work for the next contractual term of the European Intellectual Property (IP) Helpdesk. Managed by the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) on behalf of the European Commission, the initiative supports cross-border SME and research activities to manage, disseminate and valorise technologies and other IP assets at an EU level.</p>
<p class="text-align-justify">The new consortium receives EUR 3 million funding for an initial period of three years, and will be coordinated by the German SME EURICE – European Research and Project Office GmbH. EURICE has been responsible for the training and communication activities of the service already in the previous three years term. The consortium is completed by the Spanish academic partners University of Alicante and University of Navarra as well as the German technology transfer company TUM-Tech GmbH.</p>
<p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Strategic shift of focus: from IPR support to solution-oriented IP capacity building</strong></p>
<p class="text-align-justify">While building on the achievements and vast experience gained in previous contractual periods, the new service will focus even more on practical aspects of the management and hands-on use of IP:</p>
<p class="text-align-justify">“Moving from ‘IPR’ to ‘IP’ is not only reflected in the new official name of the service, but is part of a gradual shift from providing IPR information and support to a broader understanding of IP capacity building”, said Jörg Scherer, Managing Director of EURICE and coordinator of the new European IP Helpdesk consortium. “Our vision is to truly tailor the nature of our services to the needs of the community; and we believe that an increased involvement of external experts with strong backgrounds and practical experience in fields such as technology transfer, licensing or Open Innovation concepts will help us to turn this vision into reality.”</p>
<p class="text-align-justify">As before, all services of the European IP Helpdesk will be free of charge, and central offers such as the helpline, library, and training scheme will be maintained. Yet, in order to meet the current needs of the European innovation community the existing service portfolio will be complemented by new and reviewed online information formats, case studies and an even more intensive event and web training schedule specifically targeting SMEs.</p>
<p class="text-align-justify">Moreover, the team will reinforce the well-established <a href="http://iprhelpdesk.eu/ambassador">"Ambassador" cooperation scheme</a> with the Enterprise Europe Network. Aiming to strengthen collaboration and to increase the overall visibility of the European IP Helpdesk ambassadors not only towards their local SME communities but also within the network, the scheme will remain a central pillar in reaching out to SMEs at the national/local level helping them foster competitiveness and growth through a better understanding of their IP assets.<br />
</p>
<p class="text-align-justify"><strong>ABOUT THE EUROPEAN IP HELPDESK</strong></p>
<p class="text-align-justify">The European IP Helpdesk provides free-of-charge first-line support on IP-related issues aiming to help current and potential beneficiaries of EU-funded projects, as well as EU SMEs, manage their Intellectual Property assets.</p>

<div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>On 18 December 2018, the European Commission launched a public consultation on design protection in the EU. This public consultation aims to gather the views of those affected by design protection in Europe to evaluate the performance of the EU and national systems and identify potential areas for improvement.</p>
<p>The main substantive aspects of national laws on the protection of designs were harmonised at EU level in 1998 by the Design Directive, which also aimed to maintain a system for registering designs for businesses that only operate within one EU country.</p>
<p>Alongside those national protection systems, the Community Design Regulation offers unitary protection across the EU through a single procedure since 2002.</p>
<p>Up to now, no overall evaluation of the existing legislation has been carried out. This consultation should help the Commission to decide on the need for improvement, modernisation and further harmonisation of the existing rules. The results of the survey will also feed into the ongoing evaluation of EU legislation on design protection, building on and following previous research, analysis and targeted surveys carried out as part of 2 studies on economic (2015) and legal (2016) review of the design protection systems in Europe.</p>
<p>The design of a product is often the main reason that consumers chose it over others. Industrial design rights protect the appearance of a product, based on attributes such as its shape, colours or materials. Design-intensive industries play a vital role in the EU economy generating 12.2% of EU employment and 12.8% of EU GDP in 2013. The consultation is open until 31 March 2019.
